NEW YORK, Nov. 30, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Differential Ventures, a seed-stage
venture capital fund founded by data scientists and entrepreneurs for
data-focused entrepreneurs, is pleased to announce continued momentum after
launching Fund II with a target of $60 million to invest in seed-stage data
science and machine learning companies that collect, analyze, and manage
information to change the way businesses operate. The firm has seen strong
consistent growth, meeting key milestones set for 2021 including several new
hires, growing its portfolio internationally, and opening a new headquarters
office in Lower Manhattan.
"During 2021, we invested in our twentieth company, and our existing portfolio
raised over $150 million of follow-on capital to expand their operations," says
Nick Adams, founding partner of Differential Ventures. "With the launch of our
second fund, we will be targeting eight to ten new seed investments per year in
data science technology across North America and Israel."
Differential is one of the earliest institutional investors in the startups that
are bringing the world into the Data Age. The companies in its portfolio are
using data science, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to
remove bias from the hiring process, embed data privacy at the core of
technology, deploy deep neural networks on capacity-constrained devices, and
exponentially expand human memory.
"The hype around AI and machine learning has never been greater and it requires
a deeply experienced eye to identify the best opportunities," says David
Magerman, founding partner of Differential Ventures. "Since our inception in
2017, we have prided ourselves on our ability to identify, diligence, and
support high quality startups for the data-driven world."
The firm has a healthy skepticism about the ceiling of AI, focusing on investing
in companies that solve real problems with believable solutions. The
Differential team, made up of data and computer scientists, helps startups
strike the appropriate balance between technology, engineering, and user
interface, all of which are important and necessary to build and sell products.
They encourage ethical products that use and produce data in ways that are not
only compliant with today's regulations but which will remain compliant with
regulation and legislation that is likely to come in the next few years.
To date, Differential has invested in twenty startups with five located in
Canada and four in Israel. This year, the firm also added a new principal,
associate, and operating partner to its team.
ABOUT DIFFERENTIAL VENTURES
Differential Ventures is a seed-stage VC fund that invests in B2B data-oriented
technology solutions. Unlike traditional VCs, Differential makes investment
decisions based on decades of experience as data scientists, operations experts,
and entrepreneurs. They look for companies that have a unique advantage in data
and machine intelligence across enterprise SaaS, fintech, and cybersecurity.
Their portfolio companies are pioneers in technology and trailblazers in
automation. Some of their companies are developing ways to safeguard consumer
data, put machine learning in the hands of non-programmers, or remove
unconscious bias from hiring. They're forging new paths and Differential is
right there, rolling up their sleeves and working beside them. For more
